Dioptase
specimen number:
2451009
location:
Tantara Mine, Shinkolobwe, Katanga, Democratic Republic of Congo
description: The front side of this shapely 12.0 x 6.0 x 5.0 cm matrix is completely covered with gorgeous deep green lustrous sparkling crystals of dioptase to 1.5 cm in size. Minimal micro-chipping on the extreme edges of the matrix, overall I think in very fine condition. This sits perfectly by itself for display. The color and luster are excellent making for a very showy piece. Ex Jordi Povill collection.
